TO-DAY'S PROCEEDING.
At 8 O'Clock this morning the cross
examination of II. v. Bundrem, wit
ness testified that when he first saw
Marlborough on the poarch he
could not tell whether he was
a white or colored man. Var
borough showed no desire to run away.
Did not take the pistol from Yarbor-
ough by main force, but he gave it to
great excitement, repeatedly stating
that he desired to kill Collier and that
he had come to kill him. When told
that Collier was dead he showed signs
Of remorse and desired Bundrem to
send for doctor. He cried a little and
acted strangely and he was excited all
the time, but the kind of excitement
before and after he learned that Collier
was dead, was different; one was the
excitement of revenge and the other of
remorse. When talked with Yarbor-
ough in the jail next morning told
him what had occurred the night be-
fore, 1 cannot say but that he seemed
to recollect the circumstances.
